Trump has reportedly said he will consider sending the terrorist ‘animal’ to Gitmo. I haven’t seen video yet, but this is the reporting from CBS:

As I was just listening in to OutNumbered, Judge Napolitano says that Trump won’t be able to send him there because, as the CBS reporter pointed out, Saipov is a green card holder and legal resident and is therefore afforded the same constitutional rights as an American citizen (minus the portions on running for office).
Here are other highlights from his presser on the terrorist attack:

Here’s a much fuller representation of his comments if you’d like to watch it. Note he says he’s asking Congress to terminate Schumer’s diversity lottery program:
